Video footage of Steven Adler's July 3 performance at the M3 Rock Festival at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland can be seen below.

In February 2017, Adler revealed that he was originally supposed to appear at more than just a handful of shows on the GUNS N' ROSES reunion trek.

The regular GUNS drummer for several years has been Frank Ferrer, who is also part of the current lineup.
